Janeane Garofalo in talks to join cast of Criminal Minds spin-off

Looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more of Queen Janeane soon. Not that we’re complaining – frankly, we can’t get enough of this hilarious, highly-sarcastic mic-swinger.

And now, sources over at Entertainment Weeklyinform us that Ms. Garofalo is in close negotiations to join the cast of a forthcoming Criminal Minds spin-off. Developed on the heels of CBS’s success with the original, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior will star Forest Whitaker as the head of a team of FBI agents; one of whom will be portrayed by Janeane. No word yet on when the series is set to premier, but needless to say, our expectations are higher than a kite made of Willie Nelson’s freshly-shorn braids.
